"I can’t say enough good things about Sunni and Leah, they’ve both been incredible from the start. I had no idea what I needed or how to even begin the process, but they walked me through everything step by step. They helped me figure out what documents I needed, answered all my questions, and made something that felt overwhelming so much easier to manage. What really stood out is how they’ve stayed in touch the whole way through, checking in, keeping me updated, and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. They’re both knowledgeable, friendly, and seem to genuinely care about their work. So grateful for their help!"

"I cannot thank Strom Law Firm enough for their outstanding service during a challenging legal matter. Attorney Ms. Kennedy Eziekiel and Paralegal Ms. Katrina Kopernik were truly exceptional. Their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made a stressful situation much more manageable. Ms. Eziekiel provided clear, honest guidance every step of the way, and her legal expertise ensured we reached the best possible outcome. Ms. Kopernik was consistently responsive, compassionate, and detail oriented always one step ahead with support and information. Together, they made me feel heard, supported, and confident in the legal process. I highly recommend this team to anyone needing strong legal representation. They genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond. Thank you both!"
